Maria

I am a retired elementary school teacher of 25 years. I have taught in grades Kinder – 6th. I have experience working with students in their homes and in tutoring centers. I definitely have a passion for mentoring youth and empowering them to succeed. Seeing my students take responsibility for their own learning is my greatest thrill. I am creative, energetic and strive to use any means to secure the success of my students.As well as being a classroom teacher, I have also been a master teacher mentoring other teachers in effective teaching strategies to the state core standards. As well as teaching, I have been a school Principal. Helping to make our educational system a viable part of student’s lives has been a strong commitment for me and continues to be as I now move from the classroom into the student’s home.I have a strong passion for mentoring youth and also helping parents to assist in the educational process of their children. So often all it takes is a one on one relationship with a tutor to make a difference in transforming a learning different student into a successful student. I want to be that empowering force.
